The info in this thread about what ren could have been is yet another thing to add to my "reasons I hate EA" list.

Along with the canceled renegade 2.
And the crappy way they did V8 Challenge
Plus the non-release of the scripts.dll source for renegade (or indeed support for ren modders generally)
Plus the fact that they keep churning out crap like "yet another lame WW2 game" (i.e. Battlefield, Medal OF Honour etc) and other crap.
And the fact that every remotly origonal idea EA has had over the past decade has been run into the ground or ignored or not supported (with the exception of The Sims but they probobly arent doing anything good for fans of that game either, releasing "yet another expansion" for it while not doing stuff the fans really want for example)

there was a cool heli zip line assault from Nod on the beach and a fun run up to the two buildings... EA... GRRRR> we had a hovercraft on the beach on fire... GRRR


Well the hovercraft is still there, but not there is no sign of any flames at all.

sorry people but i gotta admit I loved battlefield... it was what Renegade 2 shouldve been but I played it and it was a lot fun. EA didnt have much to do with that game anyway... the developers were anything but EA.

Agreed. I see nothing wrong with Battlefield. Quite enjoyable.

I love BF 1942, but BFV ruined it IMO.

phlakaton:

if ya are still reading this thread anytime soon... by working with westwood, and Eelectronic Art$, would you happen to have any screenshots of the older versions of renegade, avalible, to show hardcore fans (us) what it would of been like, and not the other released pictures, like in gaming mags and all that stuff, but any unreleased pictures, that you are allowed to show, or does EA own the right to them all?

because i'd love to see more pictures of Ren 2, not the only 5-10 pictures that were released after it was cancled.

and those photorealistic modles, i'd love to see them. but i guess that you might not have any, or that your not allowed.

and, BTW, what you do these days, quit the gaming industry? or have you moved on to another componey?
